The Pending Campaign in Germany.


BERLIN, Jan. 29-The ballot scrutiny being
now fixed for March 2, the Reichstag cannot
meet before she 8th of that month. The prepa-
rations for the elections proceeding very
quietly, but on all sides with much activity.
The government is working chiefly along two
lines-to impede the Socialist electoral propa-
ganda and to influence the return of Clerical can
didates supporting the septennate. Toward the
latter object new church bill will be laid before
the upper house of the Prussian Landtag on
Feb. IA. The bill embodies thorough revision
of the May laws including the right
of residence of religious orders: recognizes
the Vatican's Interpretation OF the Anzeiger-
phfecht, and practically renounces. during a
stated period reported to be ten years., all
rights of the state to approve the appointments
to clerical vacancies except in Polish districts.
The Germania considers that the notifications
complete revision of the May laws. but that in
the meantime they will satisfy the Vatican and
crafty Catholics.
The repression Of the Socialists extends to the
suppression of electoral meetings; the arrest of
the leading members of local committees, and
the seizure of manfestoes if the police consider
the appeals breach of the law. At Dantzic, on
Thursday, twelve Socialists were arrested, IN
Guiding Herr Joachim, a candidate for the Reichs-
tag, and nearly all the members of his cabinet.
The police made the usual charge that the pris-
oners were members of secret society
The Berlin police have 80 terrorized the own
ers of halls in the workingmen's quarters, in
which popular meetings have hitherto been held
that they now refuse to let them for political
purposes, and similar difficulty is encountered
by those desiring to hold meetings in beer
houses. But, notwithstanding the efforts of the
police, the sociaistic candidatures are progress
ing Singer the Socialist candidate in the
Fourth district; Hazenclever, in the Sixth and
Christensen, in the First, are all considered sure
of election

Steamship Pier Burned.


New YORK Jan. 29-Fire broke out this
afternoon on the Cromwell Pier. No. North
river, and in less than an hour the whole struct-
ure and its contents were destroyed. The steam
ers Of this line ply between New York and
New Orleans When the engines summoned by
three alarms of fire, got to the scene the whole
pier was one mass of flames. The fire was first
seen in stack of cotton bales in the center OF
the dock, and the rapiditv with which the flames
spread barely gave the dock hands time to es-
cape. Horses attached to trucks were on the
dock at the time and it was supposed that some
of them had been burned. Alongside the pier
lay the steamer Louisiana, which was ready
to sail, and on her decks were pas
sengers waving their adieus to their
friends on shore. On the other side of the dock
was the steamer New Orleans. Both vessels
were towed out to midstream The passengers
on the Louisiana were taken off by the police
officers on the dock, who were protecting the
non union workment The vessels upper works
we're in flames while the passengers were being
passed down the side. The Louisiana was towed
out into the stream and the flames extinguished.
She will be ready to sail as soon as repairs are
made. There were 200 bales of cotton piled up
on the dock, besides lot of other freight ready
for shipment. Many bales OF cotton and bar
rels of sugar were rolled off the dock before the
fire reached them. In short time it was seen
that the pier could not be saved, and portion
of the FIRE department lent their efforts to
save the adjoining piers. The Long
Branch pier caught fire several times, owing to
the flame being carried that way by the wind
Pier 10, the north side escaped with a
scorching to its paint, and so did the houses on
West street opposite the dock. About twenty
streams of water were playing on the fire ten
minutes after it broke out from engines and
fre-boats on the river. 1t was reported that the
fire was started by strikers, but the police deny

| $S0000 fully insured. The cause of the fire is

STRANGE -PHENOMEN0N.

New YORK, May Captain Swan, OF
the Dutch bark j. P. A., had an expert
ence on March l9 which he thinks will
account for the mysterious disappearance
Of so many vessels at sea. That day
there was a heavy storm. Late in the
afternoon a huge meteor, looking like
two balls of fire, dropped into the sea
alongside, making a tremendous roaring.
Before reaching the water the upper at.
mosphere was darkened, while below,
and on board, everything appeared like
a sea of fire. The force of the meteor
striking the water caused heavy breakers,
which washed over the vessel, making
her roll dangerously. The atmosphere
became uncomfortably warm, and the air
was full of sulphur. Immediately after
solid Jumps OF ice fell on the deck, and
decks and rigging became coated with an
icy crust, caused by the immense evapo-
ration. On the side where the meteor
fell the ship appeared all black. and
some of the copper sheeting was blistered.

THE SILVER

P. Lillienthal, of the Anglo-C California
Bank, was seen by a San Francisco
Chronicle reporter Monday, with refer
ence to the banks refusing to take silver
dollars, when he said: "The Govern.
ment, as you are aware, ships out silver
all over the country at its own expense
against ~depositors of gold. Well, when
the country is through with that silver
it drifts back into the city and deposit
ors put it in the bank. In the East,
where the Government has plenty OF
vault.room, that silver can be handed
back to the Government against the gold.
Up to three or four months ago the Sub
Treasury here did the anne thing, but
they claim that they have no room and
they refuse to redeem standard dollars.
The consequence is that the bank vaults
are becoming the receptacles OF that
specie instead of the Government; and
until such time as the Government IN.
creases the vault.room or ships the silver
away, this state OF things will continue.
In addition to that, one of the Chinese
banks has received a consignment OF half
a million trade dollars, which under the
late law are convertible into standard
dollars, and they are also pressing this
upon the market. So that in self-pro-
lection from lack of room to store silver
the local banks must refuse to receive
silver on deposit"
